Chapter 239
239 Something Different
“Fanny, she knows she’s wrong, but the kid can’t go without milk.” Beny said, popping a peanut into his
m*uth. “Don’t worry, I’ve got her under control. Dragged her back from town, and now she’s clear that
running off won’t work. She’s given up and says she wants to settle down with me.”
Dickson chimed in with frustration, “Beny, I hate to say it, but it’s been three years. How come you still
haven’t sorted her out?”
“Well, being a university student, she’s literate and harder to handle,” Beny chuckled. “But hey,
Dickson, the girl you brought back this time is really good–looking! She seems well- behaved too.
Maybe 1-”
Fanny cut him off sharply. “Don’t even think about it! The village head fancies her, and they’re coming
over soon to check her out. Wipe that lecherous grin off your face!”
Fanny sneered, “Thank goodness this girl is dim–witted. Otherwise, with your lecherous. look, I’d have
to figure out a way to fool her!”
“Alright, let’s put an end to this discussion,” Dickson intervened. “Keep a close watch on the man Yarra
brought along. Make sure he doesn’t come out.”
Beny’s anger flared at the mention of it. “He’s just some brat who popped out of nowhere, daring to
meddle in our village’s affairs. It’s really getting on my nerves.”
Dickson frowned. “He’s no ordinary fellow. Even with ten times the sedatives, he wouldn’t go down. If it
weren’t for the village head’s help, he might’ve snatched Yarra away! What then? The whole family
would be in trouble thanks to you!”
“He didn’t take her,” Beny snapped impatiently. “I checked. They’re not involved. Yarra just happened to
save someone and ran into this brat. Damn busybody!”
“Regardless, keep a close watch,” Dickson warned.
“He’s locked in the cellar, with Biggie and Brownie on watch. He won’t get out,” Beny assured his
mother as he dished out more food. “Ma, stop eating just potatoes, have some
meat.”
The family continued their meal unperturbed, seemingly accustomed to such occurrences.
Through the window, the Quirks appeared to be just another peaceful and warm family. But beneath
the surface, things were quite different.
Yarra wanted to follow Wynter inside the house, but Gary stood behind her, making sure she

stayed put.
Unable to express herself verbally, Yarra communicated with her eyes, silently urging Wynter to glance
outside. She hoped her message would be understood.
Finally, Wynter glanced back but only gave a faint smile before shutting the door. Yarra pondered
whether Wynter hadn’t grasped her silent plea or if she genuinely believed Yarra
to be insane.
The more desperate Yarra felt the more relaxed Gary became on patrol.
Little did they know, as soon as Wynter entered the room, her demeanor changed. She chewed on a
piece of candy as her gaze drifted toward the window. Within the depths of her eyes, a mysterious
allure lingered.
“Biggie and Brownie? That name isn’t as cool as Wolf’s,” she remarked.
Wynter casually lowered her gaze and swiftly changed her T–shirt. She then opened her black bag and
retrieved a miniature camera connected to her phone, deftly fastening it to her shirt button.
The receiving device, concealed within the black ring on her index finger, had extensive network
coverage. Once everything was set up, she opened the platform and hit the broadcast button.
The Empathy Clinic boasted a considerable following, especially following the recent wrongful
accusation incident. As soon as Wynter went live, a surge of viewers flooded in.
“The Empathy Clinic is finally live!” a viewer exclaimed in the chat.
“How strange. Why is Dr. Genius streaming now? Wasn’t the platform notification set for three days
later?” questioned another viewer.
“Let’s not dwell on that! Welcome back, Dr. Genius!” a dedicated fan of Wynter chimed in.
“Something feels off about this setting. Shouldn’t Dr. Genius be at the clinic?” another viewer pondered.
Wynter grinned and announced, “S
